Carry It All in a Giant Patchwork Duffle Bag
It’s Easy Enough for Beginning Bag Makers!
Are you heading out for the weekend? This large duffle bag is so attractive and holds a lot, making it perfect for travel and more.
If you’re in a hurry, make it up with one fabric you love on the outside. Or create the appealing patchwork version from 3.5” scraps of fabric or fat quarters.
There are two outside pockets and one zipper (a 30″ double-slide handbag zipper). Plus it’s easy enough for beginning bag makers.
By Annie’s Soft and Stable provides nice structure for the bag. Batting works too for a slightly floppier version. Both are great options and allow the bag to fold up when not in use. The handles are made from 1 1/2″ polypro strapping.
